A little later, one Saturday night in March, the Sisters decided to hold a Tramps Party and required their guests to put on their oldest clothes - I produced a shabby old army shirt and gave myself a beard and an old hat. Simon joined us and we had a hilarious time, and an excellent supper afterwards in the flat of one of the girls.
